Board, cards and dice — what is on this shelf

Board is a small shelf of turn-based games with rules older than the browser: chess, checkers, reversi, tic-tac-toe, dice and card games, plus a handful of casino-style titles played for virtual credits only — no wagering, no purchases. What we check before listing is whether the rules survived the port: legal moves shown, an opponent that does not play at random, and a match that can be finished in one sitting. Anything that needs an account or a lobby to start stays out.

Every game on this shelf opens in the browser with no download. Each title has its own note on why it is here — how we choose games.
